The Ravishing Snow Flowers.

A Florida spondent sends us
the following paragraph, and asks is
there "any foundation" for itP says
Gardeners Monthly: 1.-The great bota-
nists, Anthoskoff, found in Siberia, in
1870, the ravishing snow flower, the
seeds of which he took to S.. Peters
burg, and which lowered in the pres
encc of the Imperial family. This
be autiful and impressive member of
the floral kingdom is perfectly white,
leaves, stock and flower. and it springs
up TO the height of three feet in three
days! The plant possesses only three
snow-white leaves and its flowers;
buds, blossoms and fades in
twenty -four hours. II is in the shape
Of n star, about four inches in dame
Ter, and possesses petals of great
length. 1t exhales slight and
delicate odor, but if touched by a
warm hand both it and the leaves and
the stock on which they rest, dissolve
instantly into n substance that seems
almost pure snow Vt would appear,
indeed, that it was q kind of snow
fungus, but it produces seeds which
can be transplanted." The editor of
the Monthly says; In the first place
there is no great botanist," Anthos-
koff Authos is Greek for Flower" -
and the whole thing is evidently made
up l'y some clever newspaper reporter.
1t sprung up, we fancy, in less than
three days-probably three minutes
wero suffi cient to bring into full ma
turity from the seed. rs it fell on

melons, the biggest the South has ever

melon is grown, it has returned good

| could not have been five years of
age when the first line of Gypsy
poetry ever heard touched and fired
my childish f,ncy. In our old farm
hous, there was ''coml ary"-a
Thanksgiving night when winter has
suddenly fallen upon the land, bring
ing distress to the dumb brutes of the
place, which all the 'men folks"
turned out and rescued, and intensi-
flying the cheer of the good old day
and time within. A Gypsy band,
breaking camp for the S,uth, had been
scattered by the bowling storm. A
lass, who had been sent to the village
upon some trihing GRAND, was lost.
The tempest had driven her in upon
orr Puritanic but hospitable home.
The house was crowded and mist
shelter all that night.
So my unsentimental and -. good
mother fed that Gypsy girl in the
kitchen with the doors locked, and
bundled the two heaviest burdens OF
the hour, the Gypsy lass and myself,
off up the back stairs to bed in
the garnet by roaring chimney.
The lost heather, cuddling me in
her arms, sobb,d herself to sleep,
moaning over and over some strange
rhymes in an unknown tongue. The
last three words remained with me un-
til, all in flash, one day, perhaps
twenty years later, l found they were
Romany, and meant Save Allah's
slave! 1t is the only thing existing
among Gypsies in any part Of the
world savoring of petition. The
translation is.

squares through which the procession passed.
The number of people was so great as to in
terfere with the marching of the ranks. All
along the route when the Contederates ap-

NEW HAVEN, Ct, June 16.
The Grand Army posts united here in a

Many distinguished mill AIRY gentlemen are
in attendance from over the whole country.
Among those on the platform were Gems
Sherman, Sheridan, Terry, Senator Hawley
and Gov. Gov. Lounsberry.
Commander Tsinter warmly welcomed the
guests. Referring to the contemplated re-
turn of the confederate flags, he said: 81
believe the grand Armv have a proprietary
right in those flags, which were purchased
with their blood. If the President consents
to their removal he will receive a warning
from the Grand Army throughout the United
States that he will not dare to override
Commander-inC Chief Fairchild said
Since about 1867 the Grand Army has been
malice against our old foes and are ready to
extend the right had of fellowship. Not.
withstanding all this we most emphatically
ner of right to take from our relics of the late
rebellion in the shape of rebel flags. What
would Missouri, Maryland, Mississippi, South
Carolina and other States do with the flags il
they had them? Would the Governors OF
those States place them in the State cspitols
as emblems to be revered and to teach the
coming generations treason? No loyal Gov.
ernor of any State in the Union will receive
them They will say they are relics of the
dead and past. We are members of the
Union and cannot receive these emblems OF
treason.
Commander Falrchild concluded by saying
that he spoke in defence of the southern peo.
pie whom he felt sure would feel insulted by
having the flags thrust upon them.
Gen. Sherman was given a rousing recep-
ton. He acknowledged the greeting but ex-
cused himself from speaking
Senator Hawley then interrupted the pro
ceedings and read dispatch stating that the
President had countermanded the order in re
lation to the return of the Confederate flags
